The dinner went well. Snookums settled the menu question by asking for chili, since he likes it a lot. So I made chili and corn bread. The Americans were both from the South and the tragedy didn’t seem to affect them much. As for Jann’s “getting hammered” idea… Ugh. I’m hungover. I hate the world. Thanks, buddy.

i’m a huge fan of chili. open a bunch of cans, dump them into a huge pot with tons of spices (and some fake meat…), simmer for several hours, and you’re done! and don’t forget a can of kernel corn…yum.
